youtube-dl lets you scrape songs from soundcloud. Something like AlexandriaP2P cuts out the middleman from this equation. (disclaimer: I'm an alpha tester for AlexandriaP2P)

There hasn't been any kind of surveillance reform since the Church Committee. It's true. Congress is putting on a kabuki theater show for the benefit of those who don't understand that they're lying. But the fact that th

Functionally, this is a loss. This bill codifies the bulk collection of metadata for the first time. It gives power to the deeply corrupt telecoms, and is very similar to CISPA in its philosophy. But there's one important point: even t

I've spent the last few months talking to artists, and I've managed to convince a B of people to release stuff into the creative commons. see: http://mercbay.com/#search/gendale The films are now on BitTorren

You've written 450 words now without ever addressing the actual claim made by Hersh, which is that major military figures believe they are waging a crusade. > "Opus Dei secretly in control of (or heavily influencing) America&#

My apologies. You're absolutely right and I've edited the post to be more civil. As a matter of honesty, my post originally said: > If you want to keep making up strawmen to argue against Hersh, maybe try reddit or something. I

The claim is that top ranking officials believe they are waging a traditionalist "Holy War" against Islam. I don't know if your obsession with Catholic or military trinkets is simple misinterpretation or deliberate obfuscatio

Tell that to the CIA. Diane Fienstein accused them of committing crimes in order to suppress the torture report.[0] A little lying about how Osama was killed seems pretty innocuous next to that, doesn't it? Military operations are rout

I have to disagree. The article is an unambiguous criticism of the media reaction to Hersh's article. In the context of the media trying to control the narrative regarding Hersh's story, editing the title here really appears to be

Why was the title of this post changed? It's far less accurate and no longer reflective of the title of the post. Frankly, in a conversation about the media's disgraceful reaction, you probably shouldn't change the title to s

If the question is "who benefits", there's an easy answer for that. The senate just published a 500 page report detailing the lies that were told by the CIA in order to promote torture. The actual report was 4500 pages. It ce

Investigative Journalism is Conspiracy Theory. Period. End of story. If people didn't conspire to do things there would be no investigative journalism. So quit bandying about terms that are used to discredit important journalists.

This is the takeaway from all of this. People who are trying to sort out which details are accurate and which are not are missing the point entirely. The government lied about the way Bin Laden was killed, plain and simple. And they did it

He didn't claim that they had been "infiltrated". He simply claimed a few high ranking generals were members. The narrative he was trying to create was that the military literally considers our presence in the Middle East as

The Trial is perhaps a better film than Kane.

This is a good point. I guess my issue is creators (or more often, studios and labels) who are using copyright to restrict modern tech. Isn't a CC-0 license the equivalent to a public domain dedication, though?

Interesting. Is yify or any equivalent open sourced? could I fork that project?

Vodo is awesome, and Pioneer One is an awesome show. I highly suggest everyone check it out and support the creators.

I'd rather support artists who aren't using the copyright empire in order to monetize their art. I think any adult should be able to give up The Avengers for moral reasons. You don't need movie franchises that much.

BitTorrent Inc. is fine and I respect the work they're doing negotiating with major labels/ studios. But I can't support DRM on my torrents.

Does anybody know what it would require to fork Popcorn Time to only support Creative Commons and public domain content? I've spent a lot of time boycotting copyrighted works and I'd like to have a nice user interface to do this.

This is a good reason why decentralized alternatives to sites like Reddit are needed. It's one thing in a country like the USA where there is a (sometimes dubious) code of ethics and rule of law. It's a completely different matter

What about something like mercbay.com? While spam would still be a problem, requiring a negligible payment would greatly reduce the ability of spammers to flood forums with posts.

I'd like to see a creative commons streaming service that automatically paid artists using Bitcoin. With no intermediary. But I'm kind of a weird customer. I've boycotted copyrighted works for long durations. That said, I am

Out of curiosity, do you know what it would take to make a PopcornTime for ONLY Creative Commons and Public Domain material? Just a CC/PD tracker?
